Vocalist Ichirou has also released a digital-only collection album of his own on 2020/06/01, under the project name ドクテロイチロウとおかしな仲間たち (DOKUTERO ICHIROU to okashi na nakamatachi) containing various tracks he did outside of Dokusatsu TERRORIST.

Again, available at a multitude of online platforms HERE.

(edited the original post with this info too)

I'm sorry, someone had to speak the truth.

Also, Tetsu has been posting on the Afro Skull Records Youtube page with home recordings during the lockdown there.The first few weeks he just did it by himself covering songs and his back catalogue. More recently he's been performing alongside TBCCB's drummer Jin Terui as their session unit 'Tetsujin' or 'Iron man'.

HOLY FUCK, they did so many videos! :'DDD

This one's great, Tetsu can't help striking the Himuro Pose™ every 20 seconds, lmao.

Good to hear Papa Tetsu keeps truckin' along.

The piano intro sounds almost like it could have been written by MALICE MIZER, haha.

Bordering on cringe, but this somehow ended up the least worst thing I've heard from an ex-MEJIBRAY project so far???

Wouldn't jump to calling it straight-up good tho.

The worst of mediocre deathcore coupled with the lowest of mediocre VK - what a combo!!!

Would be fun if they cosplay as their past self some times.

They actually kinda did that a few years ago, for LUNACY 黒服限定GIG ～the Holy Night～!  ...at least most of the members did.

Here's a random clip:

Tracklist added now.  

即ち性。(Sunawachi Saga.) has released a new one-track digital single titled 水槽 (Suisou) on 2020/04/20, available on various platforms.

Haven't seen this reported here so I thought I'd make a thread for all the approx. 4 ppl interested, lol.

Honestly, this pico-pico project seems to be the most promising out of these random trashy bands so far, lol.

Bring out the fuzzy VHS recording of their first live performance. 

YESSS give the people what they want (and what they want is sweet sweet grainy in-livehouse camera recordings).

 it looks like XA-VAT and ZIZ aren't coming out with anything since the new ZIZ is already finished

ZIZ is literally coming out with new songs every week right now tho, haha. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll continue VAMQUET too (must be hard juggling so many projects I guess, but at least they look like they're always having fun and trying out whatever they like at the moment).

Aaaand HERE's the second track 二十二世紀ピーキー (Nijuuni-seiki Peaky)!

The vocoder and all the weird industrial effects yeeeeees~

Sadie Pink Galaxy (XA-VAT, SPEECIES, JUBILEE) and Közi (XA-VAT, ZIZ, VAMQUET etc.) have been hinting at working together on something in the past few months, and now Sadie broke the news on Twitter. They will release a single titled 今夜はロマンシングー (Kon'ya wa RomancinGoo) under the project name SADIY&KÖZIY. The record will contain 3 new songs plus their karaoke versions, and it will be released both as a CD and as a cassette sometime later in June (I think?).

The style looks very '80s pop, so I'm curious what this will sound like.

I guess this will be the first "rare video", premiering tomorrow: a 2018 live version of LOVELESS.

Thanks again for the lyrics translation, cool stuff.

And yeah, Mugen Minus were pretty neat (I prefer them to Cock Roach).

@carddass That is awesome, thank you (and your ex-coworker ) so much for the translation!

What a song.

I've read lots of stuff/speculations/vague half-sentences over the years, but just by a glance it totally seems like a "No Doubt" situation, i.e. the major label trying to court Gackt (and succeeding) to ditch everyone else and go solo. But this being a very niche part of the already secretive Japanese music industry, I doubt we will ever get a clear-cut fact of what actually went down.

Nice, I like this sort of initiative.

Nah, they won't put that collab song for digital sale; need to make concert goers thirsty & queue for it and then go "since I already queued for so long, might as well add a T-shirt and a pillow with Shuuji's face on it for 8000yen. Oh wait, if I spend 10000yen, I'll get a free sticker???? Add that '14' album that I already have!!!!" 

Of course, how naive of me...  Ao gotta get that lunch money to start working on his next BL manga collab probably.

The demo snippet sounds decent enough!

btw the vocalist dude has a Soundcloud where he recently uploaded a few demos of his own, very nice kote-kei sound:

(I'm not sure whether these are completely new tracks or re-workings of his past bands or if he plans on using these with this band later)

LOL, thx guys. I wish they did something like putting up the deadman collab song for digital sale instead (which has been endlessly delayed anyway because of the live postponements).

Oh my god, I totally forgot about this project. It's certainly very uhhh... cool? :')))

Also hell yeah, Neo Fuffuu! ♥ That list is pretty accurate for what I would choose myself, adding Power to the mix too maybe. And I can't forget the amazing Mugen Minus cover at the end of the Magaru sekai mini album, I get goosebumps listening to it till this day (even though it's just a cover I consider it one of their best). The original's fine too, but I think MUNIMUNI adds an extra layer of dread to it with those wailing guitars and the trademark shakey vocals.

Should we be posting there or here for these little bits of news?

I think we can use the Artist thread... since this one is for an album already 1.5 years old, haha.

Thought I'd revive this thread for a bit. So what's your guys' favorite MOONIE songs from their newer batch of releases (post-2010)?

Mine would be: BIG MONEY, ウーピーハーピー, NEW ORDER LOVE SONG, VELVET魅惑TONIGHT

Also shoutout to my manz Canou's sick goth rap skills in B-BOY, lol.
